A very solid and consistent album and was actually better then expected. Slightly better then his 2nd Album but slightly inferior to his 1st. For the 1st time ever no 1 track on an album I listened to stands out as the definite best. The best tracks are Stay The Night, Best Laid Plans, Tears and If Time Is All I Have. There are also 5 other tracks I liked. Only a few tracks I found average with I'll Be Your Man being the weakest.

I've never really liked James Blunt, I did enjoy Back to Bedlam back when it came out, but nothing since then has really grabbed me from him. This is decent, it's not bad, but it just has nothing to lift it above being painfully average. His voice is still grating, some of the songwriting is still cring-ey, and there's still one or two songs that I like, but overall I just find it mostly boring. 3.2/6.
